abortion does affect the life of another. It kills a baby.
To say that it's not a baby until it's out of the womb is dumb. And to pick some arbitrary "3rd trimester" cutoff is also foolish. What changes from one day to the next to say that "Ok, yesterday would could have aborted it, but today we can't". The only rationally consistent logic is that you either can't have an abortion at all from the point of conception, or you can have an abortion at any time up until the baby breathed life.
Drug use and prostitution don't "spread" anything. Two or one consenting adult doing whatever they want with their own bodies.
I am all over the map here. I realize that. Just being devil's advocate.
It's got a heart, brain activity, etc. For all intents and purposes it's a baby.
